Pepernoten are associated with Sinterklaas, they are crunchy and got warming herbs. They are also a great combination with the creamy ice cream. This pepernoten ice cream cake made with a base of pepernoten is made quickly and becomes a delicious dessert.
This ice cream cake at the bottom is made of crushed pepernoten. Then a creamy layer of airy cream filled with crushed chocolate pepernoten is smeared on top. When you fill that into a cake tin and put it in the freezer and allow it to set, you get this delicious pepernoten ice cream cake.
Because ...
- you mix the cream until it's almost stiffen you won't need an ice machine to get an airy ice cream cake.
- you line the mold with baking paper, the ice-cream cake will easy release from the mold.
- the ice cream cake is very hard as it comes out of the freezer, so let it stand for 10 minutes at room temperature to soften before you slice it.
